I would be interested in a visual of your binders. 🌲🌲

[@sarahbovey6419]

Check out their video on organising your homeschool. They have a quick visual of them in there

[@Dreblueskies]

Me too!

[@sarahbovey6419]

The idea of the personal memory binder for mama is great! Another great idea would be to put some things from mother culture there. Your own favourite poems, quotes, scriptures, etc... as a record for you as well ❤️❤️❤️

[@debbielee93]

Oh my I would love to have one of those pull down school house maps!

[@chogan1618]

Jenn mentioned little fold up book stands. Which one do you recommend?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Hi, Thank you for your question. Here is the one that Jenn has: www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Wire-Study-Stand-Silver-10024/dp/B00006B8HT/
Unfortunately it looks like that one is currently unavailable, however these look similar:

A bookstand for use during copywork-- brilliant! I wonder if those would work for a coffee table sized art book for picture study...🤔 Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@carmenkloppers6334]

I would love an episode about setting up the homeschool space

[@rebaseymour1810]

I’m a pen nerd. I love, love, love Frixon pens. They are my favorite pen. I always tell people about them.

[@joeyjohnson4816]

Great video ... I would be interested in learning how you keep your art supplies organized. Do you have seperate sets for each child, or do you have a collection of common supplies used by all of them?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Hi, Thank you for reaching out with your question! There are some great ideas about organizing your homeschool in the link below! Ultimately it will be up to what you think will work best for your family and how many children you have who will need to be using the supplies all together! It is certainly possible to have them share some things, however if it causes a lot of down time for a child or for them to become distracted and move off topic, it may be helpful to have a couple sets for everyone to share again depending on the number of children who will be using them together.

[@cheriek3872]

Yes frixion pens are a must! I have my own set that the kids aren’t allowed to touch 😊

[@MikeKendrickmusic]

Me too! 😂

[@debbielee93]

CDs are the best. I wished they would not go away. I still have cassettes too!

[@shannonhanes5769]

Where do you get the dry erase with a grid on one side?

[@joeyjohnson4816]

I got mine from Simply Charlotte Mason. It comes in their aritmetic bundle or can be purchased seperately for $9.95, I think. We use ours everyday!

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

We have them available here: simplycharlottemason.com/store/dry-erase-board-grid/

[@Dreblueskies]

All CM moms seem so calm and quite, I’m so not 😬🤣
Please show in detail the binders.
Her son needs a fountain pen 🖋 👌

[@kaburagitonga]

So put together right?

[@cindiloo7495]

Do these ladies have Instagram accounts that we can follow?

[@heidiandbretz9867]

Born in '72.....NOTHING wrong with cassettes or CDs! I was very upset when we bought a new vehicle in 2017 and couldn't play cd's in it. I'm no fan of new tech

[@heidiandbretz9867]

And I LOVE a map by the dining room table! We also have decorated our dining area with the paintings we received in our Preschool box from SCM! LOVE!!!!
